Intel Corp could relocate its drone research and development operations overseas if the federal government adopts an "overly prescriptive" approach to unmanned aerial systems technology, an Intel executive told U.S. lawmakers on Thursday.

"A federal government approach that is overly prescriptive regarding the deployment of new hardware and software will deter the private sector’s ability to invent and compete in the marketplace," Joshua Walden, Intel's senior vice president and general manager for new technology, said in written testimony submitted to the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade.

7. With all that money why don't they simply buy their way out of regulation?

It's the American way of business you're Corporate Wealthy. You'd think they could convince a few in Congress to bend it the Intel way.

If it's for government weapons you'd think there would be different rules anyway. This must be for private enterprise use like Amazon, no?

11. I hate it when the press reports this kind of stuff without researching it

I went to both links to find out what the actual complaint is and nothing. It is just reporting a corporate statement. In other words being their mouthpiece.
